Miami Heat guard Victor Oldaipo won't accompany the team on its upcoming four-game road trip, it announced Friday.

The two-time All-Star suffered an apparent right knee injury in the fourth quarter of Thursday's 110-104 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. He finished with 18 points, four boards, and three steals in 25 minutes.

Miami acquired Oladipo from the Houston Rockets ahead of last month's trade deadline. He's averaging 12 points, 3.5 boards, 3.5 assists, and 1.8 steals in four appearances with the Heat.

Oladipo was among the game's top two-way players before rupturing the quad tendon in his right knee in January 2019. He led the Association in steals and was named to the NBA's All-Defensive first team during the 2017-18 campaign.
